Protege5: Harder, not Smarter!

We're way, way, WAY past "necessary" in this build.
So true, but it is still awesome to see someone go this far with it. Keep it up man. Now to go work on my car
ive never done any research on pulse jet, no idea what that is.
and 3 turbos are counterproductive to this build. they add more weight. this thing is gonna weigh 2000 lbs, just toss a gtx2867 on there, let it spool fast, and scare the s*** out of yourself. the FS is not a motor to handle triple compound turbos

Well, I was going to use 5, but decided too take the lightweight approach so I'll keep it too 3.

You haven't met the engineer that is designing all of this. Innovative technology right here.

Haven't checked this thread in a long time and just noticed the while MR tri turbo setup. And I have several questions regarding this
What motor are you using
And why 3 turbos if this is a build for mpg? A small turbo will spool up over climbing a very slight incline (my vj11 would build 3-5 psi climbing slight hills at 70 mph which killed mpg) while Hondas making 500 whp with a gt35 still get 30-35 mpg because the turbo actually takes a decent load to spool up.
Of course at this point you could have easily gotten a crx hf with a dx trans and gotten 60-70 mpg with full interior and ac

If these questions are all academic, then cool. I'm all for it.
But if not, my only response to "Why" is, "Why not?" Dude's doing A, whatever he damn well pleases and what makes him happy; B, something new and advanced and difficult and challenging - and succeeding, it seems; and C, something frickin AWESOME.
Sure, we can debate the academics of using three turbos on an MR drivetrain hatch-mounted in a P5 chassis, but in the end, so what? It's a P5 with a mid-mounted three-turbo MR drivetrain - how cool is that?!?!?
(P.S. Dude, Tamn... you get sunshine in WA?

Can't wait toi see the final result!
I like crazy projects without any limits!

Tamn - you keep on doin what you do man. It's entertaining to say the least - but it's also inspiring to see someone take the ideas that are "outside the box", smash said box, build new odd shaped thing to have ideas outside of, and succeed at it. Keep smashing away sir.
I'll PM you my question about the hatch and ideas I'm having.

Yes.
Low 2200's with driver and full tank of fuel. But that was quite a while ago.
Because aint nobody got time fo dat turbo lag.

Sometimes during the summer I see a strange phenomenon in the sky, I assume that's what your referring too as in sunshine?
